How do I know?



I am getting ready to build a C&C cage like Nancy's 2x3 cage in the photo. I need it to be big enough for 3 piggies. How do I know how big to make it and is there a way to find her "blueprint" or something to that effect? Thanks, Tish

Re: How do I know?



General rule of thumb is that each pig is suppose to have 2 sq. ft. Actually though that is kinda small. One pig is suppose to be in a 2x3 grid 2 in 2x4 3 in 2x5 or larger. Bigger never hurts anything.

ONE pig should have 7.5 square feet to start. THEN you can approximately add 3 square feet per pig.
